I’m at VWV solicitors in Bristol, where I am an apprentice in business administration.

What were you looking for from your first employer?

I was looking for experience of working in different teams, and getting to decide at the end of my apprenticeship which team I prefer, so if I did decide to pursue a career in this area I would have a better idea of which department I’d prefer to work in.

What do you think the workplace will be like in 2050 and do you think you will still be working?

I think it will be more advanced technology-wise. I think people will be working from home more and it will be a lot more developed. I think I’ll still be working, hopefully in a law firm.

Following university, when I secure my first step on the career ladder, I am hoping for

1. Role specific training - while university degrees fill you with the technical knowledge needed for industry, more often than not, the employer will have their own way of doing things. For my first post grad job, an opportunity to showcase my abilities within the employers remit is essential.

2. Realistic opportunity to progress - although this is not really essential, in an ideal world the ability to progress up the corporate ladder can be both motivating and a draw to a potential employee. Although this being said, I am aware that a solid footing within the company is essential.

In the year 2050, I'll be 63, All going to plan I'll be happily retired, however, given the way I am, I doubt I'll cope with retirement.

I think the work place will have drastically changed by this time. With an emphasis on technology and all things digital becoming increasingly prevalent and important, the current workplace landscape will change to fit the digital mould.

I’m a bit unsure yet so that’s something I’m going to explore a bit in my second and third year at university. From them I just want constant support on how to improve so that one day maybe I can become an editor or a sub-editor, or maybe producer of a radio show.

What do you think the workplace will be like in 2050?

I’m not sure what I want to do in the next three, never mind 50, years.

I do want to go into journalism as that’s what my degree is in, but whether I’d be in the industry that long or not is a tough one to call. It’s so hard to keep afloat in, from what I’ve seen when I’ve done work experience, maybe it’s because it’s changing so rapidly.

What do you think the workplace will be like in 2050?

I think 70 per cent of work will be carried out by automotive machinery and employers won’t require as many hands on staff. Jobs will be lost, but then other jobs will be created as companies will need maintenance crews, as well as coders

I am studying media at Nottingham Trent university and I will graduate in a year.

What will you be looking for from your first employer?
